Under a DACA amnesty, American taxpayers would be left with a $26 billion bill. About one in five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one in seven would go on Medicaid. Since DACA’s inception under Obama, more than 2,100 illegal aliens have been kicked off the program after it was revealed that they were either criminals or gang members. JOHN BINDER

The frontier with our southern neighbor really is better controlled than it used to be, though that’s not saying much, considering how laughably inadequate enforcement was in the past.

But it’s immigration security overall that we need to worry about, both at the border and the interior. Better border fencing is indeed necessary, but our efforts in non-border areas haven’t even risen yet to the level of “laughably inadequate.” Until they’re addressed, we shouldn’t even be discussing what to do about illegal aliens already here.

The three biggest weaknesses are worksite enforcement, visa tracking, and state and local partnerships with federal authorities.

Weakening the magnet of jobs is key to deterring illegal immigration. The online E-Verify system enables employers to check whether new hires are telling the truth about who they are — but it’s only voluntary. Only by making E-Verify a universal part of the hiring process can we even begin to claim to be serious about enforcement.

People who come here legally on visitor visas but never leave are now the main source of new illegal immigration, accounting for nearly 60% of the 1,000 new illegal aliens a day settling here. We do a better job of checking people in as they arrive, but we don’t track departures. That means we don’t know which visa holders have remained illegally — despite the fact that Congress has mandated such a visa-tracking systemeight times since 1996.

It should go without saying that any illegal alien arrested for local crimes should be deported. Yet the Obama administration has dismantled the infrastructure for cooperation between the feds and local law enforcement. Rebuilding these relationships, and protecting cities from predatory lawsuits by anti-borders groups such as the ACLU, is imperative.

Politicians who want legalization of the illegals now, while promising to get around to improving enforcement in the future, are offering the same bad deal as the infamous 1986 amnesty. “Enforcement first” is the only acceptable approach.

(CNSNews.com) -- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General John Roth admits that he “cannot validate” the exact number of work permits that were issued to illegal aliens after a federal judge halted the process because the data provided to him by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is “unreliable”.RASMUSSEN: ILLEGALS TAKING AMERICAN JOBSAmericans Think Illegals Are Taking Their Jobs

Giving Illegals Access to Welfare ‘An Assault on the U.S. Taxpayer,’ Researcher Says

70% of all invading ILLEGALS end up on welfare. Getting an American job with a stolen social security number is NEVER and issue!!!

“The share of immigrant-headed households (legal and illegal) with a child (under age 18) using at least one welfare program continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large share of immigrants with low levels of education and their resulting low incomes — not their legal status or an unwillingness to work. . ."

THERE ARE NOW 40 MILLION ILLEGALS IN OUR COUNTRY, JOBS AND WELFARE LINES!

hell! they have NO IDEA how many illegals have jumped our borders in the last year!!!

JUDICIAL WATCH:

“Our friends at the Center for Immigration Studies just this week announced that their

analysis of census data shows that "the nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit

a record high of 42.1 million in the second quarter of this year -an increase of 1.7 million

since the same quarter of 2014." This means that the noncitizens now comprise "13.3

percent of the nation's total population - the largest share in 105 years.”

AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY…. but we still get the tax bills for Mexico’s welfare state in our open borders!

SEN. RICK SANTORUM:

“Part of the problem, Santorum said, has been the arrival of millions of unskilled immigrants — legal and illegal — in the United States. "American workers deserve a shot at [good] jobs," Santorum said. "Over the last 20 years, we have brought into this country, legally and illegally, 35 MILLION mostly unskilled workers. And the result, over that same period of time, workers' wages and family incomes have flatlined."

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS, WHILE THE GOP WATCHED, TURNED AMERICAN INTO MEXICO’S JOBS, WELFARE AND DRUG MARKET.

“The percentage of foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s population it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new report.”
